Hi everyone from Argentina, Bariloche.

I'm reconditioning our family disco 1 1997 tdi 300, and after being for 2 years in the woods stopped, i noticed water has started to crawl inside the footwell of both passenger and drivers, i took off all the sponge/soundproof material off it was rotten and super soaked.
I Tracked the water to the sides of the footwells I'm attaching a photo of the dripping.
I Had already changed the sills, cover the air intake in the passenger side, resealed the windscreen.
Has anyone got something similar?

Thanks in advance!

 

Since you covered the most likely stuff here is a thread about a joint behind the front fender which can leak.

If you have a sun roof it can leak there too. Mine leaked both front and back, damaging the head liner, so I sealed them both with caulk. Vaya con dios!

 

Thanks! I will definitely look into this, hope taking the fender off isn't that much of a hassle.

 

I Don't got any sunroof, muchas gracias! I will check the body under the front wings and do a preventive seal job to see if that's the problem.

​​​​​​THanks for all the replies.

 

I had a lot of leaks in my D1, but none in that location so I dont have any specific help. Eventually, I ended up using a jug that I would keep filling and pouring water on certain spots to find where the leak was. Start at the lowest point, pour, then look for water coming in. You may want to pull the fenders off and have a look, if its not the sunroof drain (since you dont have one), there must be a rust hole somewhere along that wall.

 

Don't know if you found your leak, but I had one just like this on the passenger side. 1995 D1, no sun roof. Had the windshield removed and resealed, and there was a gap at the corner big enough to stick a #2 Philips screw driver through. However, that did not completely cure the water leak. Long story short, there is a spot where the roof inner and A pillar stamped metal parts are spot welded that allowed water to enter. This is not the actual roof sheet metal, but the inner structure that it's welded to.
You can see the seam with the headliner removed. I only found it after using baby powder and dusting the whole area and then spraying the outside with a water hose. The seam was so small that I ended up putting a straw from a WD 40 can on a can of spray paint and shooting it into the over lapping metal seam. Been dry for going on six years now.
